In it, The Morning Call reports that:

Parishioners at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Roman Catholic Church in Nesquehoning are fighting the Allentown Diocese's decision to close the church next month -- the first of potentially several appeals to be ...

I was just wondering, didn't mean to get people riled up. Fat man is outta sight outta mind, we hope! What about the one that followed him? Rigatony?

Fat man may be out of sight but never out of mind ! Not after what he did to not only the church but the community. Rigatony should rot in hell after he raped the churches and hall. What the fat man and his side kick didn't rip off the Rigatony man did.

I am happy to say that the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church will have a Mass on Monday July 16th at 7pm to celebrate the feast day of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel and everyone is welcome. It will be inside the church. One more step to heal old wounds.

Correction, it will be inside a building that was once a church. I plan on being there with bells on.

I'll never be out of mind much less out of sight. You can see me at the mass in the former church. It will be good to see some of the stupid people again. And it will be good to be in the building that I shuttered.

Its no longer a church, Its just a building. GET OVER IT ALREADY!!!See you at the mass

It is you who need to get over the fact that our CHURCH is open once again. We have prayed long and hard for this miracle to happen. Thank all of you that helped make this happen. I will see everyone at the Mass for everyone is welcome. I'm sure there will be "nay sayers" there but we will pray for them too! Prayer heals all wounds and being a good christian helps heal them faster!

Typical mean, heartless, unkind people that think this can be ruined by there big mouths. The doors are open and we are home again. We pray all of this bickering will end and we all can just live in peace and harmony! Do not let a few hard A$$es sour the celebration of Our Lady of Mount Carmel on July 16th at 7PM.

Last night, The feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel was celebrated in the church of Her name. What a truly wonderful event. The church was packed from front to back with SRO. The joy was palpable, Father Pat was eloquent, the congregation took delight in singing and responding to prayer. No one could spoil this no matter how some tried. This is, and will remain, a church as set forth by a decree from the Vatican...it must be used as a place of Divine worship. A truly wonderful experience. Thanks to all who made this possible and to the many who attended. See you all again soon.
